Tony Pulis says new signing Ahmed Hegazi will find it easy to fit into the "family" at West Bromwich Albion.

The Egypt defender impressed Pulis on his West Brom debut, Wednesday's 7-6 penalty shoot-out defeat to Leicester City in the Premier League Asia Trophy.

“He’s got good English which is important and he will find that it is an easy group to fit into," Pulis told wba.co.uk of the 26-year-old, who joined on a season-long loan from Al Ahly

“You try to build a family at the club so when they players leave their homes and come to work they are happy to be here. They are good people in our dressing and very easy to mix in with.”

West Brom meet Crystal Palace in the third-place play-off today (11am BST), before beginning their 2017/18 PL campaign at home to AFC Bournemouth on Saturday 12 August.
